OFFER ENDS 31st AUGUST*

One of Europe's most elegant coasts

Enjoy a week of festive relaxation in a wonderful four-star hotel overlooking Cascais Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. This Christmas break also includes a full day in Portugal's historic capital, Lisbon, and a visit to UNESCO-listed Evora.

Itinerary

Day One

Fly to Lisbon and transfer along the coast to Estoril and the hotel, your comfortable home for the Christmas holiday.

Day Two

Explore the wonderful Portuguese capital, Lisbon, on our included guided excursion. See the historic Belem quarter, the broad avenues of the Baixa and the narrow streets of the Alfama district. You'll also have a chance to soak up the city's pre-Christmas atmosphere.

Day Three

Rest and relax at the hotel, perhaps enjoying the health centre's hot tub or Turkish bath, or join today's optional excursion to the walled hill-top town of Obidos, the former fishing village of Nazare beneath its rocky promontory, and the fabled shrine at Fatima

Day Four (Christmas Eve)

Today's optional excursion takes in Estoril's fashionable neighbour Cascais and UNESCO-listed Sintra, with its Moorish Royal Palace and Disney-esque Palacio da Pena. This evening, begin your Christmas celebrations with dinner at the hotel.

Day Five (Christmas Day)

Enjoy a Christmas Day to remember, as you join new-found friends for a special Christmas dinner, perhaps followed by a stroll along the seafront to work off the calories.

Day Six

Today is left completely free for you to enjoy the delights of the hotel and elegant Estoril.

Day Seven

The last of the included excursions takes us to charming, exquisite, UNESCO-listed Evora. See the Roman temple of Augustus (often referred to as the Temple of Diana) and the fortified cathedral, which stand in the centre of the city, separated by the city museum.

Day Eight

Say a fond 'adeus' to your hosts today as you transfer back to the airport to board your flight home.

The holiday was very good but we were very disappointed that there was no entertainment in the hotel as stated in the brochure and we expected on a holiday over the festive season.

An excellent short break over Christmas, however it didn't feel particularly Christmassy - warm weather and a different culture but enjoyable all the same.

Very good for couples, but not single people. I would have liked to have stayed longer at Fatima not just 45 minutes' otherwise all the excursions were very good.
